  1. Shes all done now! Im tired so shall put some pictuires that bobs taken up tomorrow! Pickup week after next, agh!
  2. Badabing badabump? Might be offered in trades, watcha got folks?
  3. i don't think so! We're bassists remember! We need to do as much as we bloody well can to get a few glances!
  4. Well i had an old encore, I put a Card (The ace of spades, in fact) in the neck, and twiddled about with the truss and action, mainly as a sort of excuse to fiddle. but when i had finished it played just as nice as any mim fender. (but i suppose thats not saying huge amounts! )
  5. wonderful replies! As you can see, it was just one of those things that came to me whilst staring away into yonder regions. =) From personal experiance, it seems that mid range basses can be made to play aswell as high mid range basses, but absoloute low and high simply cannot be matched
  6. With a good setup, and in extreme cases, a neck shim - Any bass can play just as good as any other. (not ignoring the neck size/dimension, but thats so subjective) /Discuss
  7. If you feel it the crowd feels it! Its taken a fair while but now im confident on stage, Ill make sure im in some sort of larger than life pose when playing little fills or something, and people notice! plus, anything above the 7th fret is "Woah, I didnt know you could do that!" So basically, Play riffs that you could play between 1st and 4th frets on 4 strings all on the E string and watch the comments roll in!

  9. but thats like saying i predict a mole on the hottest woman in the worlds lower back. In the scope of things, i just dont care. haha.
  10. i seriously dig that! and its near me! we'll see what happens to the price!
  11. [b]Ibanez EDA905[/b] Humbucker at the Pbass pickup position and Piezo pickups ont saddles (Great for pick playing grind, another reason she needs to go - i cant play with a pick!) Nice wide string spacing, This is pretty subjective, i love it because its been my first five, and with other fives ive played ive found the strings to simply be to close together for comfortable finger playing, I'd much rather have a slightly wider neck and have strings not dissimilarly spaced to that of a four. but like i said, depends what your juice is. Shes definatly not new, But a very safe 8/10 condition wise. Comes with a locked Di-Marzio strap (very cool IMO) i recommend paying for a proper setup somewhere! this could be such a brilliant bass after a full going over! (not to say its a bad one! but you catch my drift, i dont want to sell it saying it plays like butter when although it suits some, i think the majority of finger pluckers will find it a little challenging) Here's a google photo of an identical one; Annnd a less clear one of my actual bass with rig. Shall we say [b]300[/b] [b]Cort C4 LTD[/b] My first "real" bass, And i love it to bits! but needs must as im sure we're all aware. The finish all round on this bass is suberb, Walnut top and wenge neck are both beautiful. ever so slight buckle rash on the back, but it hasnt penetrated through the finish and is only visible at an angle. Two MightyMite Soapbar pickups and two band EQ give plenty of tone, Also boasts a pull/passive pot which is quite handy should a battery go or you want a flat sound for whatever reason. I can quite genuinly say, this is one of the nicest "feeling" basses ive ever played. The action runs so low across the whole neck should you desire, the wenge neck never gets to sticky, nor to glossy. the pickups are big enough to have varying anchor spots for various tones, but not so large that they get in the way of slapping. and lets be honest, it is pretty damn sexy! [b]250?[/b] If anyone would like mor epictures or more information feel free to ask! Take care. Stephen
  12. thanks man! I still cant get over how easy this thing is to move about (well, in the scope of things!) and i never got round to thanking Alex for his explanation on the weight, thankyou!
  13. Finally! a picture for you all! Still hugely impressed. And my new bass is in there aswell, just my mule to go now!
  14. Finally a (very poor) picture of my setup! Not bad for just turned 17 if i do say so myself
  15. they are discontinued now. And if they all came with a similar setup to the one i recieved, im not surprised!
  16. i would have to disagree, the 3.2 run through the 410pro 4ohm cab simply wasnt loud enough. tone was fine for the price your paying, But this thing Ab'd with an ashdown mag electric blue 180 was of very similar volume, if not more in favour of the ashdown (its a shame im not for the ashdown tone!)
  17. yup! that was the one i think, it was about 270 with 15 quid postage. Needed a huge amount of setting up when i got it, and i think a neck shims in order. But she sounds brilliant! Ive never played a Piezo instrument but on the G and D strings its somehting else! Blend in just enough of the normal pickup to add the lack of lows and shazam! aha. you have PM parker, or will in a moment!
  18. ding! EDA 905. Full report to follow. and ill dig something out for Parker Muse
  19. <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/UgPr4HVmz8s"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/UgPr4HVmz8s" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> can someone make that work? Bobs gone to the trouble of making a short video "tour" of the bass. Looks f'kin awsome. what a guy!

  21. I thought it was something to do with having a better balance when sat down? dont ask me where i heard that, grapevine methinks.
